Welcome to the 2014 Pocket Companion. This
booklet aims to help you make the most of your
experience by including essential information
about the route, a range of accommodation,
bag carrying services, transport, and useful
telephone numbers. The route can be walked
continuously, completed in sections, or used
as a base accessing paths linked to
the Way during shorter
breaks.
SCOTLAND’S GREATEST
Scotland’s first official long distance
route links Milngavie to Fort William
– a distance of 154km
(96 miles) - from the
northern outskirts of
Glasgow, through Loch
Lomond and the Trossachs
National Park to the foot of
Ben Nevis at Fort William.
The terrain ranges from
lowland moors, dense woodland and
rolling hills, to high mountainous regions
in the Scottish Highlands. These environments provide habitats for a
diverse range of wildlife species, both flora and fauna.
GEOLOGY
The hard rock of the north meets the younger sandstone and
conglomerates of the south and is known as the Highland Boundary
Fault line. The division between the highlands and lowlands is best
seen from Conic Hill.
HISTORIC ROUTES
The route echoes with the stories of the past including Rob Roy
MacGregor as it follows historic routes - making use of drove roads,
Military roads built by troops to help control the Jacobite Clans, old
coaching roads and disused railway lines.
AMAZING WILDLIFE
Red deer on the hill, golden eagles soaring over the tops and the
elusive feral goats left behind by long-gone communities - watch
carefully for these and much more Scottish wildlife to be seen along
your Way.
ESSENTIAL
INFORMATION
The West Highland Way is way marked
along its length using the official Long
Distance Route ‘thistle’ symbol.
Sections at the southern end of the Way are suitable for inexperienced
walkers and family groups. North of Rowardennan on Loch Lomond side the Way enters more remote country with little shelter, often
rough and muddy path conditions for which
vehicle access is difficult. Rowardennan is
the furthest north private vehicles can access
the east side of Loch Lomond from the south.
Road access to Inversnaid is from the east,
via Aberfoyle. The next point northwards for
vehicle access is Inverarnan.
Walkers planning to tackle the whole
route are strongly recommended to walk
northwards from Milngavie to Fort William.
The southern section provides a ‘warm up’ for
the more strenuous northern stages. For those
who intend completing the route in sections over a
period of time you can use the transport information
section to help plan the trips. For short breaks see
the section with two/three day suggestions.
The time taken to complete the whole route will
depend upon your fitness, the size of your pack
and how much you wish to enjoy the scenery and villages you walk
through. The whole Way can be completed in a week averaging
around 21km (13 miles) a day. Remember, the West Highland Way
is a long hill walking expedition and walkers should be equipped
accordingly. Stout boots are essential, as is waterproof and windproof
clothing. The Weather on the Way can change rapidly so be prepared.
There is nothing quite like
walking the West Highland
Way. It really is a journey to
remember.

CAMPING
Many people enjoy camping as part of their experience. We strongly
advise you make use of formal campsites, many of which have toilets,
showers and drying facilities. See the accommodation sections for
details.
East Loch Lomond Camping Byelaws are in place restricting wild
camping from Balmaha to Rowardennan, for further information visit
www.west-highland-way.co.uk and www.lochlomond-trossachs.org
WILD CAMPING
If you intend to wild camp outside the bye laws zone please follow the
guidance included in the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
• Wild camping is lightweight
• It involves small numbers, and
• Only for two or three nights in any one place.
You can camp in this way wherever access rights apply But nOt in
enclosed fields of crops, near farm animals , near buildings, roads or
historic structures.
DO NOT CAMP
• In enclosed fields of crops
• near farm animals
• near buildings, roads or historic structures.
LEAVE NO TRACE
• take away all your litter
• Bury toilet waste
• Remove all traces of your tent pitch.
Please Do not Assume you can use toilets and showers at formal
facilities nearby that are privately owned. Be courteous and check in
advance with an establishment if you can use their facilities and offer to
pay for the service you receive.
DOGS
If taking your dog on the Way it must be kept under close control particularly
near farm animals. Fields containing lambs and calves MUST be avoided. If
you find yourself surrounded by farm animals protecting their young from a
perceived threat you must remove yourself from the situation even if it means
leaving your pet behind.
Visit www.west-highland-way.co.uk for up-to-date information.
FARM ANIMALS
Stay well away from ALL farm animals and take any necessary
steps to avoid close contact especially if they are accompanied
by their young.
FIRES
Wherever possible, use a stove rather than light an open fire. If you do wish
to light a fire, keep it small, under control and supervised – fires that get out
of control can cause major damage, for which you might be responsible.
Never light a fire on top of vegetation and do not damage living trees to get
fuel. Please leave the fire-site safe and remove all evidence of the fire.
TOILETING
Toileting can create problems on a well used route such as the West
Highland Way. Make as much use of the toilets available as possible. If a
toilet is not available, find a private place well away from the path and at
least 50m away from any watercourse. Dig a shallow soil latrine with your
boot, stick or trowel and replace excavated material after use. For further
information provided by the Mountaineering Council of Scotland visit
www.mountaineering-scotland.org.uk/leaflets/toilets.html
BE PREPARED
• Wear suitable clothing, walking boots & waterproofs
• take a map and compass and know how to use them
• Check local weather forecasts
• Plan within your capabilities
• Let someone know your route plans
• Plan for the unexpected by carrying a first aid kit,
survival bag, torch and a whistle
• Mobile phone reception can be patchy, carry phones supporting
several service providers.
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
• A Grid Reference for the emergency, plus other details of where you
are.
• If the emergency occurs away from a road (this includes the path
north of Rowardennan to Inverarnan) and you cannot easily get the
injured person to a road, dial 999 or 12 from a mobile and ask for
the police. the police will co-ordinate the situation and inform the
relevant agencies.
• Have a history of the incident ready to tell to the emergency
services and any other relevant details you can think of.
• the more accurate the information you can provide the faster the
emergency services will reach the emergency and the quicker they
will be able to deal with it once they arrive.
